Description Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2009-09-08 11:02:35 UTC 
CVE-2009-1687 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-1687):
  The JavaScript garbage collector in WebKit in Apple Safari before
  4.0, iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1, and iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1
  through 2.2.1 does not properly handle allocation failures, which
  allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial
  of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted
  HTML document that triggers write access to an "offset of a NULL
  pointer."

kdelibs done doesn't mean other webkit implementations are fixed.

Changing whiteboard to ?2 [glsa?] in order to catch this in a webkit-gtk GLSA.

Presumably all affected versions are gone from tree. Closing as discussed with keytoaster.
